ROAD ROLLER FOR SHINGLE.
To the Editor of the "Timaru Herald." ! Siv, —Th? only defect isi # "K?anorny's" pliui' is'that unbroken shingle, «o matter how well rolled, is worse than useJess, -because immediately t'ry weather conies evory stone exposed to. wear at the surface" becomes dislodged with the
traffic, owing to its having no ar.gle, or "Jeer," to hold it in its surroundings, lrobably "Economy" has ovetlotked th© fact that less than per cent, of loose stones, which are- far too numerous on old roads in the drv season, are unbroken and of the hardest and tcugliest wearing qualities. Ordinary wheel traffic will not break tbem, V-o thai they must either be buried—in which case they are of no more vaiue than mud—or thrown away. "•Economy" has hit the cause p£ a defective svstem being maintained. Who is responsible T —I am, etc.,
C. H. MASON.
